There's Something Fabulous About You!

Good morning!!

So I saw another fabulous sketch over at Cardabilities, and decided to play along again this week! So much fun! If I was more tech knowledgable I would be able to provide you with a link to their blog, but I'm not so I'll just type it in here and you can paste to your browser!

Here's my card for this week, it's going to be a birthday card for my SIL!! Hey I'm actually early with a card this month! Yeah me!!




Used the Top Note die cut from Stampin Up! and the new cupcake punch, so fun and stinking cute!! I'm also thrilled because I learned a new technique this week! See the gathered ribbon across the bottom? I finally learned how to do it! Not too bad for a first attempt. I've seen this technique on hundrends of cards and was always so jealous! I thought there was sewing or something like involved, turns out all you have to do is apply a strip of sticky tack, or whatever you use, and stick, gather and twist the ribbon where you want it, SO EASY! You'll be seeing more of this now that I learned how easy that was!! Thanks again Becky Roberts for sharing your tips with us!!

Please feel free to leave any comments or questions!!!

Also, coming soon - a new class I'm going to be holding shortly! If you love rubber stamping and paper crafting, come join me in a fun and easy new class! Details and photos to be added shortly!

Take care,

Yummy Little Icecream Cone Birthday Wishes

Just sharing a cute little card I made using my Cricut machine for the icecream cone, and of course my Stampin Up! stamps.......my favorite combination!

Used some DSP for the background and cardstock for the cone and rounded the corners for a little change in look. I put the red cardstock through my Cuttlebug embossing folder for the dots on the strawberry for some added texture!

Supplies

DSP Sending Love
Corner rounder punch
Birthday Bliss stamp set
1 3/8 circle punch
Scallop circle punch
Pretty in Pink, Real Red, Chocolate chip and kraft cardstock

I love to hear comments, so please feel free to leave me on!

Quick Birthday Card

A simple little card, with a sort of masculine feel today. Punched some circles out of red and blue cardstock, then added a couple stars (cut with my Cricut of course) used the scallop punch for an added embellishment and stamped with Happy Birthday. Sweet and simple I thought!

Supplies from Stampin Up!

Real Red, Brocade Blue, Chocolate Chip, Gable Green and kraft cardstock
Scallop punch
1 3/8 circle punch
Well Scripted stamp set (from the Occassions Mini Catalog)

Happy Birthday Card

Made this cute little card for one of my nephew's birthday. I saw a card similiar to this on someone else's blog, tweaked it a bit and voila......this is what I came up with! What do you think of the colours? Red, blue and brown, a different combo I think, but I really like them together. Something definately new and a bit bold for me!

I love punches, they are so quick and easy to use. I used the Martha Stewart cupcake punch for this card. I really like the design, think I'm gonna make a few more like this to sell in my much neglected Etsy shop!
